Cable Knit & Holly Berry Happiness JOY Hanger - and Sorry

First of all...sorry for any Technical Hitch recently experienced!

Anyone visiting in the past few hours/day may have seen an error message... it appears that updating my blog to the more secure web site version resulted in a message saying it was not secure/valid... go figure!

It should be all sorted now... but please contact me or comment if anything appears different - or any new messages pop up!

Or if my fellow blogging friends know of anything else I need to check/update or change....!

Now back to a certain Staircase Card... still hope to get Tutorial up as early as possible over the weekend now... so just a quick but lovely crafty share for you today...

This is the last  - and my favourite - of Julie's Quarterly Training makes using Holly Berry Happiness, the Warmth & Cheer papers , Layering Squares die-cut Kraft Card and the fabulous Kraft Rope Trim. Along with the gorgeous Cable Knit Embossing Folder.

And really clever use of the new Foam Adhesive strips to create a channel either side of the Rope Trim. And I used them for my letters too... makes the job easy!!

Warmth & Cheer meets Holly Berry Happiness - and a Round Up picture!

The last but one of Julie's Quarterly Training makes... as I have just realised I haven't photo'd my favourite! Better do that tomorrow...

A simple little card with a flash of copper foil... CASEd from the Autumn Winter Catalogue... lovely little layout...

And here is a round up picture of 4 of the Quarterly Training makes...

Fireplace Easel Card & Tutorial

Now for all of those that have been following me for a Christmas or two!! I bet you can guess that where there is a Staircase Card... with Hearth & Home out and in action ... that there would soon be a fireplace card...

And yes you are right ... here is this year's Fireplace Card...

Warmth & Cheer papers... perfect for a cozy feel....

Stockings, rug greeting & NOEL from Hang Your Stocking

And holly garland, skirting board greeting & bow from Holly Berry Happiness.

Fireplace and skirting board care of the Hearth & Home dies... with the rug and greeting cut care of the Layering Ovals dies

All laid out on a simple little 14.8cm (about 5 3/4" so you guys in the US would probably be better doing a 5 1/2" card ) Simple Easel Card. Simple little easel card so a simple little card Tutorial for you!
